Global Acetylene Black Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Global Acetylene Black Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Acetylene black is a type of carbon black. Acetylene black is produced in anaerobic refractory chambers by the decomposition of acetylene gas preheated to 800° C (1,500° F). Acetylene Black is highly purified, and it is also an extremely conductive material. Acetylene black is mainly used in adhesive/seals/coatings, Batteries, Rubber, Cables, Greases and other fields.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Acetylene Black market finds that the global Acetylene Black market reached a value of USD 437.88 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 535.46 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.41% during the forecast period.

Market Drivers

Acetylene black is carbon black obtained from thermal decomposition of acetylene. It has high purity and high conductivity: these properties make it an ideal material for producing batteries, power cables, silicon products and packaging materials for integrated circuits. Although acetylene black is composed of carbon colloidal particles like other carbon blacks, the difference is that its particles are chain-linked. This makes it graphitized fully and has unique properties, such as conductivity (electrical and thermal conductivity), liquid absorption and other properties. Acetylene black is widely used as a base material for dry batteries, rubber reinforcement, cables, tires, conveyor belts, hoses, flooring materials, surface heating elements, black pigments, electronic components, etc. Wide application fields promote the continuous growth of acetylene black market.

Market Development Constraints

Acetylene black has a certain risk of being replaced, and new conductive agents such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have good prospects. The field of battery and conductive materials is an important downstream market of acetylene black. In order to improve the competitiveness of products and reduce the risk of being replaced, acetylene black industry needs to continue to improve the production process and product performance.
Graphene, as a new two-dimensional flexible planar carbon material, has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Compared with traditional conductive agents, graphene conductive agents have excellent performance, which can significantly improve the electrochemical reaction speed inside the electrode, improve the high-rate charge and discharge performance, and significantly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries, which will surely become a very promising development direction in the future. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one-dimensional nanomaterials with excellent properties of high strength and high electrical and thermal conductivity, which are mainly used in lithium batteries and conductive plastics. Under the background of substitution risk, the entry threshold of acetylene black industry will be continuously improved, and the risk of elimination of production enterprises with insufficient strength will further increase.
